Global firms ‘profiting from genocide’ in Gaza, says UN rapporteur

Report by Francesca Albanese singles out companies such as Palantir and calls for prosecutions

The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories has called for sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and for global corporations to be held accountable for “profiting from genocide” in Gaza.

A report by Francesca Albanese to the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday points to the deep involvement of companies from around the world in supporting Israel during its 21-month onslaught in Gaza.
